Identifying the Server Name and
Host ID
To get a license for combustion , two pieces of data
you need to provide the Server Name and Host ID.
You can find your system’s server name and host ID
by using the lmtools utility.
To obtain the host name and ID:
1.
Do one of the following:
• Choose Start | Programs | Autodesk Network
License Manager | Tools and select LMTOOLS.
• Go to the directory where you installed the AdLM
(the default path is C:\Program Files\Autodesk
Network License Manager ) and select lmtools.exe .
2.
Click the Systems Settings tab.
3.
Do one of the following:
• Write down the Computer/Hostname and the
Host ID (Ethernet Address).
• Click Save HOSTID Info to a File.
Note: If your server has more than one Ethernet
adapter, select one that corresponds to a physical
network adapter.
5. Choose File | Exit.
4. Copy and paste the Computer/Hostname and the
Host ID (Ethernet Address) into your email for
obtaining authorization.
Handling the License File
Information
After you send your system information to Autodesk
Registration and Authorization, you will receive
license file information as part of an email. The
FLEXlm server reads the license file information
from a file on the hard disk, so you need to copy the
information from the email and save it in a file.
Copy the contents of the license file (from the email)
to a text editor such as Notepad.
sample contents:
SERVER mysystem 0012b59bb36a

VENDOR_STRING=educational SUPERSEDE
DUP_GROUP=h \
ISSUED=09-oct- option=142
SIGN=33BDF7945532
5.
Save this file in the AdLM default directory
C:\Program Files\Autodesk Network License
Manager\License
or in the License folder in the
directory where you installed the AdLM.
6.
Save the file as combustion.lic file.
Note:
You can name the license file anything you
like. However, the name must have a .lic or .dat
extension.
The combustion.lic file is used to configure the
server.
▲
Do not use a product such as Microsoft Word for
editing the license file information because it may
introduce formatting that will cause the license to
become invalid to LMTools.
Configuring the FLEXlm Server
After you have a license file saved, you need to
configure your FLEXlm server.
1. Do one of the following:
• Choose Start | Programs | Autodesk Network
License Manager | Tools and select LMTOOLS.
• Go to the directory where you installed the AdLM
(the default path is C:\Program Files\Autodesk
Network License Manager ) and select lmtools.exe .
2. Click the Service/License File tab.
3. Click Configuration using Services.
